Oct 23, 2009 - I was born in 1943 and as a child heard the man off an old victrola with that Jack Russell Terrier listening right along with us coming up stairs from the living room. Yes he was the original Elvis bringing Black sounds to the world and pointing out the road for all the Hanks to follow. What pure beauty.

Nov 6, 2009 - Great singer. Great guitarist. Terrible shame he died so young.

ebeneezzer Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - That music is based in traditional Celtic/Gaelic and bluegrass. It is not "black" music.

GasparoContarini Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - haha. the woman smiling and bobbing her head when he sings 'im, gonna shoot thelma'!

kitsilanoband Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - God! Black! Me first? Grow Children. Jimmie is watching. Eb: I defend my point that popular country and western and Rock and Roll MUSIC is all rooted in Africa, as is all humankind. Excess ego, racism, nationalism, and my-godism, breeds contempt. Americanism has become a religion fraught with idols, demons and pariah. No idea emerges that a Yank will not interpret as an attack on the US of A. I descend from Africa, Europe and Asia and claim more for it.

PHUDDPU Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - now thats real yodling

kitsilanoband Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - We're all kin from Eden in Africa so every music is rooted in that Continent. We accept that version of human origins and I'm very proud of my indiscernible Black ancestry whiile no less proud of my Irish and Kitksan lineages but my role and goal is to be a heavenly human, not a shade of colour. Mr. Rodgers obviously absorbed style from Robert Johnson, while we know Hank Williams learned stagecraft on the street under his negro pal. Soul sees only light, hears only beauty, knows only truth.

Nov 9, 2009 - Jimmie Rogers absorbed style from Robert Johnson??!! Come on now, Rogers first recorded in 1927 and died before Johnson recorded anything. Johnson was a minor musician in the 1930's and wasn't well known back then, certainly not by white musicians. No one hardly remembered him until someone dug up those old recordings and put them on an album back in the 1960's. Rogers certainly was influenced by the blues and black guitarists but not by Johnson. !

rwaggs62 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Jimmie was a star before Robert Johnson ever recorded. Now, Hank did get influenced from the Blues musicians he grew up adoring in Alabama, Rufe Payne "Tee-Tot", and truly made his own kind of music, as Jimmie Rodgers growing up in the Delta did, but Jimmie was one of the fathers of the Blues Country, people learned his style, not the other way around...Hank was influenced by Country Blues, but he was his own man also...Jimmie, Hank Robert are my 3 favorite musicians.

rwaggs62 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Charley Patton was the Father of the Delta Blues, like Jimmie Rodgers was the father of Country Music...both died tragically young, as did their heirs (muscially) Robert Johnson Hank Williams... But all 4 of those above mentioned men maybe the most important musicians in American history... not to slight Frank Sinatra and W.C. Handy, etc, and that style of music... But for pure music, Charley, Jimmie, Robert Hank are the ones I pick!

Nov 11, 2009 - yeha Ive got all of his music..T for Texas

kitsilanoband Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - You are closer to this than I who forgets the issue; My concern is to know the truth and avoid disrespect for the memory of these artists. We are wrong to glorify their hard lives. Hank Snow prevailed quietly, and Johnny Cash was crazy for a while; Elvis replicated the rise and fall of the American dream, and right now, today, the climate is perfect for Jesus to show up strumming, singing, dancing and telling us things the way they really are and how they are going to be from now on...
